Commercial Real Estate for Business in Japan — Overview
Overview of renting and buying commercial real estate for business in Japan: guarantors, prices, yield, and discrimination against foreigners.
Finding and renting commercial (and related residential) real estate for business in Japan involves several systemic difficulties: a long office search process with frequent rejections, guarantor requirements, the effect of a director's official salary on rental approval, discrimination against foreigners in housing and the UR alternative, rules for subletting one's own property to one's own company, price differences between Tokyo and Osaka, the general trend of rising rents in 2024-2025, ways to evaluate a property's rental yield through specialized websites, and a practical case of combining a virtual and a physical office.
